Look at these three female soldiers’ essays

1

One after another, violent winds and sandstorms, like waves of the sea, rolled and roared in the vast Gobi desert, making the sky and earth turn yellow and strange.

The wind blew everything into chaos. The gravel left the ground and screamed in the wind. The dry ropes of firewood and the tent seemed to break free from the ground and fly to the clouds. The sudden wind and sand caused a disturbance to the live-arms confrontation exercise in front of us.

"G2 target captured!" Accompanied by a crisp and steady report, Corporal Fan Wenjia's luck was flying. In less than 1 second, the three operations were quickly completed.

"Encountered strong electromagnetic interference and the target was lost!" Before she could relax her brows, another test came one after another.

To identify the type of interference and track the source of it, she counterattacked with anti-reconnaissance and anti-deception interference. She saw every move and her eyes were as clear as raindrops. The wind and sand did not make her panic. 15 seconds later, the target was captured, tracked, and locked by her again.

With a sound of "Whoosh -", the missile popped out of the launcher, spraying tail flames, drawing a long rainbow in the wind and sand in the sky, meeting the target deep in the sky, and blooming into a faintly gorgeous flower. flower.

Eight months after the new anti-aircraft missiles were installed, Fan Wenjia and his comrades once again set a new record for live ammunition launches of new equipment in the vast Gobi desert.

“The photos she took when she first joined the army were completely different from what she is now.” Private Zhai Qingru was surprised when she saw Fan Wenjia training for the first time.

Fan Wenjia is charming, fair, and has an indescribable sweetness in her smile. The beauty of Jiangnan women can be found in Fan Wenjia. However, this female soldier who once liked to compare herself to "Lin Daiyu" has had her youth reshaped by the sunshine and wind and rain in military exercises. Now, she has quietly turned from a pavilion of lotus into a strong bamboo in the mountains, tough and tall.

Sleek short hair and dark complexion have not affected her resounding beauty. Her smile is beautiful and pleasant to the ear, like running water, and her determination and sonority in her quietness are like particles of sunshine.

"During a land-air confrontation exercise, I went out to troubleshoot and I fainted under the poisonous sun. It was so embarrassing." She said with a smile. Like talking about a distant regret.

Fan Wenjia understood from regret that the battlefield refused to be delicate and she had to be "cruel" to herself. Since then, all her training courses have adhered to the standards of male soldiers.

At the beginning of the year, the company installed a new type of anti-aircraft missile, and Fan Wenjia asked to be the searcher for the tracking guidance radar vehicle. This position is the nerve center of the missile system. The boring professional textbooks make people’s scalp numb. But she held it in her hand like a handful of sunshine, warm and bright. Every time she took a step forward, she felt as if she had picked up a poem or heard a piece of music, and was extremely happy.

Each of the pads supporting the car body weighs 50 kilograms. Fan Wenjia lifts these iron lumps every day and practices weight lifting. He is so tired that his chopsticks are shaking. But even now, the joy seeping out of her sweat is still entangled in her fingers and breath.

I have been in the army for 3 years and have been asked to ride new equipment twice. Each time, I was the first all-round trumpeter to stand out with the new equipment.

“Being a soldier has roughened your skin and darkened your face. You have changed from a ‘white rose’ to a ‘black rose’. Have you ever regretted it?” Private Zhai Qingru, who likes poetry, asked her quietly. Fan Wenjia said in poetic language: "I prefer the blooming flowers on the grassland. Each one is eye-catching. Their fragrance belongs to the clouds and the blue sky. The joy is in the silence and the magnificence of the sky." Her expression is full of indescribable beauty.

"Sniper masters are fed by bullets!"

As soon as his comrade finished speaking, special sniper Huang Min bent over with a smile. Like the fragrance of flowers, it ripples between the corners of the eyebrows and the tips of the eyes: "If this is really the case, what else are we training for?"

Huang Min, who is 1.76 meters tall, is a female special operations platoon member of the special operations company. The deputy squad leader is a well-known "female man" in the eyes of the entire brigade officers and soldiers.

Armed cross-country, her long legs move as fast as a deer. On the training ground, she thought quickly and made rapid progress. She was the first female soldier in the brigade to win the title of "Special Sniper".

“To make the bullets come out of the barrel and reach the target according to your wishes, you must learn to think.” Huang Min still remembers the scene when he first came into contact with professional sniper training.

She lay on the ground for three or four hours to practice shooting and aiming. Her elbows were in unbearable pain, numb, and she even lost consciousness. Thick calluses formed on her elbows. But Huang Min found that as time went by, the target in the scope's sight a few hundred meters away became like a flower in the fog, drifting and ghosting. Although she suffered a lot, she was still a little short of excellence, which she couldn't explain.

That day, the target 150 meters away was an egg. Looking through the scope, the egg is as small as a button, and the color and the shooting range wall are chaotic and blurry. She held her breath, aimed and fired, and out of 5 bullets, 3 missed the target.

What is the problem? She thought and struggled in pain, and finally had an idea and asked the coach to record her shooting process with a camera. When she played it back, she discovered that it was her subtle shrug that changed the trajectory.

“Only by learning to summarize and think can we keep moving forward.” She put a coin on the flash suppressor at the front of the barrel. If her body shook slightly, the coin would fall. Place the larger HKD 5 coins first, followed by the HKD 1 coins.

In the golden autumn season, Huang Min and his comrades participated in the superior special warfare professional assessment. Before entering the field, she suddenly discovered a difficult problem: the sniper's lurking position was less than 5 meters away from the route the assessment team passed. A bullet casing could be seen at such a close distance, let alone a living person? !

Huang Min’s eyes fell on the disguised ghillie suit.

She sewed a thick fishing net on the outer layer of the ghillie suit, tied it with cloth strips of a similar color, and then used the nearby trees and weeds to camouflage it. The red sun is scorching hot, and the sweltering heat almost makes people faint. Huang Min gritted her teeth and remained motionless for two hours. When she received the battle order, she was nearly exhausted. In just 6 seconds, the target 300 meters away fell down.

The urban street fighting environment is complex, with streets criss-crossing like spider webs, and cars and people coming and going. The requirements for snipers’ accurate shooting are very demanding. A new subject of psychological shooting is introduced in the graduation assessment, with a distance of 25-30 meters and a time of 90 Seconds, complete shooting at four targets drawn on a piece of A4 paper, namely square, circle, triangle, and circle-tangent triangle, which become smaller in order. Bullet holes in the graphics will be worth 1 point, 3 points, 6 points, and 50 points respectively. If there is a bullet hole on the edge or outside the figure, the entire subject will be awarded zero points.

Thirty seconds passed, and Huang Min was still aiming. Just when her comrades were worried that she would be defeated, a gun suddenly rang out.

"Bang, bang, bang!" After a burst of rapid gunfire, the results came: "All targets were hit, it took 86 seconds and 60 minutes."

"Why do we need to do it first? Start with the most difficult target?"

She smiled: "The most difficult targets on the battlefield are often the core targets, which must be killed with one shot. The ones that are easy to hit are mostly minions, even if there is a mistake. It will not affect the situation of the battle. "

Corporal Lin Ying's slender hands may be able to play the sounds of nature if he learns to play the piano. But at this time, these slightly rough, even calloused hands were manipulating the crane arms gracefully and deftly, and the long arrows weighing several tons, like puppets, slowly moved under her instructions. Sit in the missile track.

At the missile post, 26-year-old Lin Ying used her hands to create a string of happiness like silver bells. Two months ago, she tied the knot with a missile platoon leader named Guan Huaping in the brigade. The love story of the missile couple triggered a flood of mobile phone Moments. Comrades laughed and said that the photo of her happily snuggling next to Guan Huaping, with the tiger teeth at the corner of her mouth, made them "numbly sweet".

A month has passed, but the popularity of the story has not dropped. As soon as Lin Ying turned on her mobile phone that day, there was a new message in her circle of friends: "I wish you a happy marriage! If possible, I suggest you move to a lighter position, such as a health worker or a telephone operator. Anyway, I don't want to see you working hard." This high school student The classmate's persuasion seemed to hit a sore spot in Lin Ying's heart, and there was a hint of subtle emotion in her eyes.

I am used to this kind of questioning and persuasion. she said.

Lin Ying is a Hunan girl who is straightforward, fierce and never gives up. Although she has only been in the army for four short years, she is already considered a veteran in the Women's Missile Company. She is the creator and witness of all the brilliance of the company since its establishment, including the waves of doubts and dissent.

“This kind of tactful dissuasion may look like caring, but it is actually a kind of distrust, which always makes people feel uncomfortable.” Lin Ying said. In the past few years, she has seen too much cynicism and questioning of prejudice online.

"Who said female soldiers can't shoot missiles?" She often asked others this question. Sometimes I ask myself.

In fact, if she did not join the army, this only child, who was regarded as the apple of her parents' eyes, would have had another choice. But Lin Ying, who has studied computer science at Hunan Police College for three years, like many girls born in the 1990s, longs for military camp experience.

"Two years of training in the army, then go back to school to complete your studies, work an ordinary job in a familiar city, get married and start a family, do laundry and cooking, and take care of your husband and raise children." Lin Ying said with a smile, "This was my life plan before joining the army."

That year, the army's first female missile company was established in the brigade. Female soldiers from the entire army rushed to join the army, and Lin Ying's passion was ignited like a furnace fire. .

After happily joining the ranks, she and her comrades gritted their teeth and fought hard, putting in more hard work, sweat, and, of course, tears than the male soldiers.

The company developed the ability to launch live ammunition in the year when it was established. It accepted military assessments from superiors more than 10 times, all with excellent results, set multiple army records, and was named the "National March 8th Red Flag Collective." But Lin Ying found that these impressive achievements could not correct prejudice and doubts. After the company's deeds were published in the media, there was a lot of chatter again. Some netizens mocked them for no reason and said that their control of missiles was just a show.

Sometimes, trust is harder than putting other people’s money into your own pocket. she said.

During the live-fire exercise that year, Lin Ying and her comrade Jiang Danqing accurately shot down a target drone. The praises were still mixed with a lot of ridicule that made her depressed.

She didn’t understand how the dedication and hard work of herself and her comrades could have such a reaction in the eyes of some netizens.

Time and facts will make them shut up, no need to be depressed or entangled. Sometimes, she would comfort herself in her heart.

But in the opinion of instructor Sun Qian, people never envy the weak. There will be as many guns pointed at you as there are flashing lights in front of you. What we have to do is to practice hard and speak with the beautiful arc drawn by the missile in the sky.

Like many male soldiers, Wu Yibin, the chief operator of the 1st Missile Battalion, also feels that "female soldiers cannot compete with male soldiers in combat positions." But that routine little competition made Wu Yibin "very shocked".

Each male and female missile company sent one contestant to compete in the "turret unlocking and locking" subject.

It was also a coincidence that in the morning, the spring rain came unexpectedly and the ground was muddy. Wu Yibin, who has more than a dozen scars on his thighs and arms, suggested postponing the competition. He knew that racing against time on the roof of a missile vehicle more than 3 meters above the ground on a rainy day would increase the probability of losing or falling. He didn't want to see accidents happen to beautiful female soldiers.

As soon as his words came out of his mouth, he was strongly opposed by the female soldiers. "Don't even think about it! Also, please call me a soldier from now on, and don't call me a female soldier!" Squad leader Su Lian's words made Private Lin Ying very excited. She felt, "When you are a soldier, you must be a soldier like the squad leader."

However, when Su Lian jumped out of the chariot cabin and stepped on the front wheel hub with his left foot, an accident happened. Su Lian slipped from the chariot and hit his right knee on the steel plate. Unable to move due to pain, Su Lian gritted his teeth and climbed onto the chariot with the help of his hands.

The nail cap of his left foot fell off and the pain was unbearable, but Su Lian won with a slight advantage of 1 second. Wu Yibin was shocked speechless for a long time by the pale Su Lian.

“Actually, at the beginning, many people were worried that we wouldn’t be able to use missiles.” Lin Ying said.

Like squad leader Su Lian, she doesn’t like others calling her a female soldier. She believes that there are only soldiers on the battlefield and there is no difference between men and women.

However, female soldiers encounter far more challenges and difficulties in combat positions than male soldiers.

At the end of 2014, just as Lin Ying was promoted to corporal, a challenge came her way: all positions in the missile company were opened to female soldiers, and an all-female loading platoon was formed. Lin Ying was transferred from the launching platoon to the loading platoon and served as the squad leader of the second loading squad.

Compared with other positions, the loading profession has higher physical requirements. The four loading trumpeters have to carry more than 200 kilograms of cylindrical missiles on their shoulders. This is a disadvantage for female soldiers who do not have an advantage in strength. It is a challenge that is difficult to overcome.

During the first test of lifting the missile, Lin Ying and three comrades used "prehistoric power", but the missile was like a sleeping beast, motionless. The embarrassment at the scene was like a shock of cold water, making recruit Liu Zhuoying burst into tears.

"Every girl has the opportunity to wear a wedding dress, but not all have the opportunity to wear a military uniform. I must become the best female missile soldier." Liu Zhuoying's sonorous words on the day she reported for duty, Lin Yingpo For appreciation.

However, Lin Ying immediately corrected her: "Not a female missile soldier, but the best missile soldier."

In order to enhance the strength of her arms, shoulders, waist and legs, Lin Ying Ying and his comrades worked hard to increase their food intake, from one steamed bun to three for breakfast, and the portions for lunch and dinner also increased.

A month later, they carried the missile cleanly. The four of them cried with joy.

"We generally gained more than 10 kilograms in weight, and Liu Zhuoying gained the most, gaining 30 kilograms." Recalling the experience two years ago, Lin Ying's dimples were filled with a faint smile.

"Before joining the army, I would cry until I gained a pound or two. But the day I carried the missile, I was grateful for the 30 pounds of extra muscle on my body!" Lin Ying accidentally saw this on Liu Zhuoying's notebook that day. When I said this, I almost cried with laughter.

At the beginning of last year, the women's missile company was reorganized and reorganized again, and a new type of anti-aircraft missile was installed. This means that Lin Ying and his comrades will start from scratch and use new equipment to launch a new round of charge.

Seven months later, Lin Ying and his comrades were ordered to rush to the northwest desert, creating another "first hit" legend. She clearly remembered: "That day, when I got off the chariot, I felt that my skills were particularly light and powerful."

Although it was late winter, the sunshine and water were flowing slowly on the green grass, Warm and bright. During the break, platoon leader Yao Luyao suggested that everyone sing a song to relieve fatigue. Chen Yuyan immediately took out her beloved guitar, and the female soldiers sang "Female Soldier Ballad" along with the guitar: "Join the army and travel to the end of the world with colorful dreams, Daughters of seventeen or eighteen gather under the sun, walking through the wind and rain through winter and summer, with thousands of knots of love in their hearts sprinkled in the military camp, sister flowers blooming in the steel camp, beautiful in military uniform, my youth..."

The singing voice is gentle and loud. Perhaps, this is a wonderful footnote to the military life of Lin Ying and his comrades.
